Dear Sir:
This bureau has no definite means of determining the given name of the father of Moses S. George, W. C. 32547, a soldier of the War of 1812, whose record was furnished you September 26, 1926.
The following history of Moses S. George, a soldier of the Revolution from New Hampshire and Vermont, is furnished you in the event that it may be the soldier whose record you are seeking:
It appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 39569, that Moses Swett or Sweat George enlisted in March or April, 1777, place not stated, in Captain Clayes' company in Colonel Hales' New Hampshire regiment, and served three years as private. He received a musket ball wound in his right elbow in the battle of Hubbardton.
About 1795 he was living in Lyman, New Hampshire.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 9, 1818, at which time he was living in Washington, Orange County, Vermont. Previous to this time he had received a pension on account of disability resulting from the wound received in the battle of Hubbardton.
In 1820 he was living in Bradford, Orange County, Vermont; was fifty-eight years of age and he then referred to his wife, Eunice as being fifty-nine years of age, and to his son, Daniel, aged twenty years, and to a granddaughter, name not given, aged six years.

The papers in this pension claim contain no further data relative to the soldier's family.
Very truly yours

Gentlemen:--
My grandfather, Moses George , was a veteran of the war of 1912 and was wounded in battle at Fort Erie. He was a resident of New York state and received a pension from the National Government for many years. I am anxious to ascertain the name of Moses George's father--desiring to prove my sister's right to join the Daughters of the American Revolution as I believe my grandfather's father served in that war. Do your pension books give any information regarding the antecedents of the said Moses George? Any information which you can give me will be greatly appreciated and I thank you for the same in advance.
Very truly yours
